India vs Australia, 4th Test

That's about all we have for you today. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope you did too. Do hop tabs to catch the action from the South Africa-Pakistan ODI. Cheers and goodbye for now.

Dhoni walks up to collect the Border-Gavaskar trophy from the two great men themselves. As is his wont, Dhoni hands over the trophy to a youngster. It's Vijay's turn today.

MS Dhoni: "It was an important series for us. It was a good thing that there were a few changes to the side. There were some brilliant individual performances. Ashwin, Vijay, Dhawan and Jadeja did very well. We batted 2nd always and we all know how difficult it is to bat 4th in India. I thought yesterday was more difficult to bat on this track than today. I may be wrong. Credit to the support staff. The last 1 or 2 years has not been great for us in Tests. They showed a lot of character. It's the end of the season for us. We get some time off national duties before the Champions trophy. Ishant was a bit angry that the crowd here wanted Virat to get out because they wanted to see Sachin to come out. The crowd everywhere has been fantastic and they came out to support us well."

Ashwin: "Everything went pretty well. I had to do some changes after the England series. My delivery stride was too long. It went haywire during the course of the England series. I was lucky to have a coach who identified it quickly. Credit also to Duncan Fletcher and Joe Dawes. I needed a kick on the backside and I got one. It was quite a tricky wicket. I think Pujara deserves a lot of credit today. He played a fantastic innings. I thought Jadeja deserved the MoM today. It was a superb 2nd spell from him today. He knows what he's doing and troubled a lot of the frontline Aussie batsmen."

No surprises as Ashwin is declared the Man of the series. He picked up 29 wickets in the 4 Tests.

Jadeja: "The wicket was helping the spinners. I just wanted to do well and glad I did. Unfortunately, I did not get many runs but I bowled very well in this series. I just tried to bowl in the right areas. I played my natural shots. I was happy with the way I batted yesterday. Ashwin bowled very well throughout the series. We hope to continue in the same way."

The Man of the Match is Ravindra Jadeja for his all-round show. He picked 43 runs and 7 wickets.

Watson: "It was a hardcore Test match. We certainly gave everything we had. Things did not go exactly how we wanted to but credit to the guys. We thought that 150-200 on that wicket was a tough one. We did not bowl exactly where we wanted to. The wickets have been very different to the ones at home. We are learning. We hope to continue to do so. We were looked after very well. It is more enjoyable if you are winning. It's a pleasure to come here and play."

We'ready for the presentations now.

Interesting Stats reminder 5: Michael Clarke became the first captain to lose a match after declaring in the first innings. In the Test at Hyderabad, Australia declared at 237/9 only to lose that match by an innings.

Interesting Stats reminder 4: Nathan Lyon's haul of 7/94 was the fourth best haul by a foreign spinner in India. The best haul by a spinner in India is also by an Australian, Jason Krejza, 8/215 at Nagpur in 2008.

Interesting Stats reminder 3: This is the first time in Test history that a No.9 batsman has scored back to back fifties in a match. Peter Siddle achieved this feat today.

Interesting Stat reminder 2: Shikhar Dhawan's 187 is the second highest score for a debutant against Australia in Test cricket. The highest is by Tip Foster who scored 287 for England against Australia at the SCG in 1903.

Interesting Stats reminder: Dhoni's 224 is the highest ever score by an Indian wicket-keeper in Tests. He is also the only Indian wicket-keeper to score a double ton.

For India, Pujara and Vijay scored over 400 runs in this series. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja picked up 29 and 24 wickets respectively. The whole team performed as a unit, whereas Australia were plagued by injuries, reports of a fractured dressing room due to the homework gate scandal and lack of aggression. In every which way you look at it, India have demolished Australia.

For Australia, nothing much to write home about. Michael Clarke was the lone star in their batting. The rest of the batting line up were confounded by the Indian spinners. Ed Cowan hung in there but could not contribute regularly. The Australian bowlers, barring James Pattinson, Peter Siddle and Nathan Lyon struggled on these pitches.

In Chennai, Dhoni's 224 stole the momentum completely from Australia. In Hyderabad, Pujara and Vijay's partnership of 370 for the second wicket demolished Australia. In Mohali, Dhawan's breath-taking century, which was the fastest by an Indian and also the fastest ever on Test debut, ensured Australia were knocked out for the count. In Delhi, Jadeja's five wicket haul and Pujara's twin fifties ensured India achieved the whitewash.

If one has to sum up the performances of the Indian team, it was lead by the Generation X cricketers like Pujara, Dhawan and Vijay who performed consistently with the bat. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja became the spin twins very much in the mould of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. However, there were several players who played knocks that impacted the game in a big way.

Result Summary of Australia's tour to India: 1st Test: Lost by 8 wickets. 2nd Test: Lost by an innings and 135 runs. 3rd Test: Lost by 6 wickets. 4th Test: Lost by 6 wickets.

Result Summary of India's tour to Australia: 1st Test: Lost by 122 runs. 2nd Test: Lost by an innings and 68 runs. 3rd Test: Lost by an innings and 37 runs. 4th Test: Lost by 298 runs.

There have been so many similarities to India's debacle in Australia and Australia's debacle in India barring the scoreline. In India's tour to Australia, only one person scored a century. In Australia's tour here, only Michael Clarke has scored a century.

Sweet revenge indeed. This win was set up by the spinners earlier in the day. The Pujara-Kohli partnership deflated the Aussies in the chase. The former remained calm despite the loss of 3 quick wickets and ensured that he was there unbeaten till the end. This is the first time India has whitewashed any opposition 4-0. This is the second time in their Test history that Australia have been whitewashed. The last time being against the South African Springboks in 1970. Australia have now lost seven Test matches on the bounce in India, their worst ever losing streak in history.

Well, Pujara is coming out to bat. Seems like the finger is holding up nicely.

Ravindra Jadeja took two quick wickets as he picked up his first five wicket haul in Tests.

Welcome back for the second session. The match is poised on a knife-edge as there is plenty of action. The spinners are getting a lot of purchase from this deck and the Australians have been found wanting. Wade and Steven Smith have battled on and they will look to push the lead beyond 100.

It's been an action-packed session. The momentum swung either way and it has finally come to rest at even stevens once again. Jadeja's 3 wickets helped India grab the initiative early. He was supported well by the other two spinners. Wade and Smith have battled on to add some important runs. If the tail wags and Australia stretch the lead to anything close to 150, they will consider themselves in the driver's seat. Will that happen though? Join us at 12:10 to find out.

This was turning in big from outside off, it hit Cowan low on the front pad even as he was moving forward. The impact was in front of middle and leg stump. It could have crashed into leg or turned further down. All that matter now is that the umpire thought it was hitting. The only batsman who looked a bit comfortable has gone now.

8.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Ed Cowan, FOUR, Cowan uses his feet superbly now and places this beautifully in the gap between mid wicket and mid on. Top shot that on this pitch

7.4 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, 1 run, sliding on from round the wicket, Cowan got an inside edge and it did not goo too far away from the pitch but Hughes pushes for the quick single. Dhoni raced to the ball but Hughes managed to get home safely

6.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Hughes, 3 runs, the Indians are showing a lot of intensity on the field now. Ravindra Jadeja appeals enthusiastically for a delivery that hits Hughes on the thigh. Ishant runs across and puts in the dive to save one. Excellent effort and Dhoni liked that

Phillip Hughes, left handed bat, comes to the crease

6.1 Ravindra Jadeja to Warner, out Lbw!! Ravindra Jadeja did not even wait for the umpire to raise his finger here. This was plumb. Turning in sharply from outside off and hitting Warner low on the pad as he was caught in the crease. That delights the close-in fielders and Warner is given an aggressive send off. The crowd finds its voice too and Jadeja has changed the momentum around with these two wickets. Warner lbw b Ravindra Jadeja 8(15) [4s-1]

Ravindra Jadeja to Warner, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

5.6 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, no run, pitched up again, Cowan moves forward to defend well

5.5 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, FOUR, Ashwin errs in length now. Slightly short and that was asking to be hit. Cowan leans back and cuts it hard to the point fence. That should release some pressure

Ed Cowan, left handed bat, comes to the crease

4.3 Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, out Bowled!! Ravindra Jadeja is the man with the golden arm. The bowling change has worked wonders. This pitched on middle, turned away and kept low too. It actually took the outside edge before crashing into the base of off stump. The gamble to send Maxwell up has not paid off but Australia will not be too concerned about it, I guess. It was a gamble. Glenn Maxwell b Ravindra Jadeja 8(14) [4s-1]

Ravichandran Ashwin, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Maxwell will take strike to Ashwin. Four men around the bat.

0.6 Bhuvneshwar to Warner, no run, very good line and length now. It was in the corridor of uncertainty and Warner was uncertain. He initially prodded out before letting the ball go through

0.4 Bhuvneshwar to Warner, no run, pitched up and outside off, Warner presses forward to defend well

0.3 Bhuvneshwar to Warner, FOUR, not the right line from Bhuvneshwar. He did get swing but it finished on leg stump. Warner glances it to the fine leg fence and opens his account

0.2 Bhuvneshwar to Warner, no run, Bhuvneshwar goes too far outside off now. Warner does not offer a shot

0.1 Bhuvneshwar to Warner, no run, Bhuvneshwar starts with one sliding down the legside, Warner misses the flick

Warner and Glenn Maxwell are at the crease. Warner is on strike. Bhuvneshwar will open the attack

Two slips in place but there are men manning the boundaries too straightaway.

Australia have sprung a surprise. Maxwell to open with Warner. They certainly want to score the quick runs to grab the advantage. How will India respond now?

Raina and Kohli are seen practising some close-in catches. The Indians are out in a huddle. We are all set for the start of a one innings shoot-out.

Lyon's 7/94 are the 4th best figures for a foreign spinner in India. He would be a very proud man. His bowling has kept Australia in the game. They could even be slightly ahead as the lead is not big. India have to bat last on this wearing track. It's up to the Aussie batsmen now to drive home the advantage. How well can they do against India's spin trio? That's coming up very soon. Stay tuned.

70.2 Lyon to Ojha, out Lbw!! That did not last too long. Ojha is caught plumb in front straightaway. This ball shooted through low from round the wicket and hit Ojha in front of leg stump. No doubt as to where there was heading and the umpire does not waste time to raise his finger. Ojha lbw b Lyon 0(1)

Lyon to Ojha, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Pragyan Ojha, left handed bat, comes to the crease

70.1 Lyon to Ishant, out Bowled!! Just too good for Ishant. It was nicely tossed up, pitched on middle and off before kicking up dust off the turf and turning in big. Ishant was pushing out at it and the ball shoots through in the big gap between bat and pad to hit the stumps. Lyon brings up his career best figures too now. Ishant b Lyon 0(6)

Lyon to Ishant, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

69.6 Glenn Maxwell to Bhuvneshwar, no run, could have been a run out here but Ishant scurries back after initially haring down the track. Bhuvneshwar had turned this wide of mid wicket and spotting Warner there, refused the quick single

68.6 Lyon to Ishant, no run, sliding on from round the wicket, Sharma gets back to block well

68.5 Lyon to Ishant, no run, some drama here. Philip hughes, at silly point, does not claim a catch. Everyone else was interested. It looked like Sharma had got some bat on the ball before it hit the pad and shooted through low to silly point. Hughes juggled a few times but the ball probably hit the ground

68.3 Lyon to Ishant, leg byes, 2 runs, some big turn and bounce already for Lyon. It hits Sharma on the thigh before lobbing up over leg slip

68.2 Lyon to Ishant, no run, floated up, Sharma drives hard but straight to the fielder at mid off

Australia walk out with wide smiles. How long can India's tail hold on on a track spewing demons?

Welcome one and all to day 3 of the fourth Test between India and Australia from Delhi. Nathan Lyon was the star of the show yesterday as he picked up his 3rd five wicket haul in Tests. India have inched ahead and every run scored will be vital. India will be hoping to extend the lead beyond 50 on a deck that is assisting the spinners in a big way. The action is about to start in 10 minutes time.

Australia will be the happier team at the moment. They have done really well to restrict India today. When India's openers put on a 100+ stand, it looked like the hosts would run away with the game but Lyon has brought Australia right back. Pujara and Vijay scored half centuries, Tendulkar and Dhoni got starts but none could carry on. Jadeja played a counter-attacking knock towards the end to take India to the lead but he was undone by a harsh decision. With the pitch playing a lot of tricks, it's going to be really interesting how the game progresses. 50-50 at the moment for sure, so join us tomorrow at 9:30 AM. Tata!

68.1 Lyon to Ashwin, out Lbw!! Lyon strikes first ball and gets his third 5 wicket haul. From round the wicket, flat and skiddy after pitching on off, Ashwin went back and missed it, the impact was around off and it would have hit off stump. That will be stumps as well. Ashwin lbw b Lyon 12(41) [4s-1]

Lyon to Ashwin, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Nathan Lyon [22.0-3-94-4] is back into the attack

67.4 Glenn Maxwell to Bhuvneshwar, no run, goes off the glove but falls safe! There is a short leg and a leg slip but this falls between them. Bhuvneshwar is going hard at his defensive strokes

67.3 Glenn Maxwell to Bhuvneshwar, no run, flat and quick outside off, Bhuvneshwar goes on the backfoot and looks to cut but misses

Peter Siddle has been warned officially for running on the pitch. Siddle is frustrated.

65.2 Glenn Maxwell to Ashwin, no run, defended down the track

65.1 Glenn Maxwell to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run, nearly a mix up! This was worked to mid wicket a bit uppishly, they decide to go for a single pretty late, Johnson was the fielder and he misses a shy at the bowler's end. Maxwell was in no position to gather that as well

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

63.2 Glenn Maxwell to Ravindra Jadeja, out Lbw!! No shot offered but I think it's a dodgy decision. Flighted up from round the wicket, pitches on off and spins away a touch, Jadeja pads up and gets hit in and around off stump line, I don't think it was straightening enough to hit the stumps. But those decisions go against you when you offer no shot, a good contribution from Ravindra Jadeja ends. Ravindra Jadeja lbw b Glenn Maxwell 43(49) [4s-6]

Glenn Maxwell to Ravindra Jadeja, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

63.1 Glenn Maxwell to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, lots of turn, pitches on leg and spins across, Jadeja is squared up a bit but manages to defend

62.4 Mitchell Johnson to Ashwin, 1 run, back of a length and on the off, Ashwin pushes it past point for a single

This would have been the last over of the day had India been bowling, but play will go on till 5 PM today

59.5 Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, replay? No! Again tossed up and again smashed straight down the ground. How useful is this contribution from Ravindra Jadeja?

59.4 Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, this is a brilliant shot! tossed up on middle stump line, Jadeja puts his frontfoot forward and lofts it straight down the ground over the bowler's head. Superbly executed

58.4 Mitchell Johnson to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, short of length and on the off, Jadeja punches it to sweeper cover

Mitchell Johnson is bowling from round the wicket. And just as I type that he switches over the wicket

58.3 Mitchell Johnson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, again on the body with a short one, Jadeja flicks and hits it uppishly to mid wicket

A mid wicket, a short leg and a leg gully in place. Expect some short ones

58.1 Mitchell Johnson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, short and down the leg side, goes on the bounce to Wade who does well to hold on

57.6 Lyon to Ashwin, no run, comes down the track and pushes it back to the bowler this time

57.5 Lyon to Ashwin, FOUR, boy, this is risky but he has done it well. Nobody expected it! This was tossed up outside off, Ashwin gets into position and reverse sweeps it to the vacant deep point region, needs a brave man to play like that against the spin on this pitch

57.4 Lyon to Ashwin, no run, takes a step out and defends it this time

57.2 Lyon to Ashwin, byes, FOUR, unplayable! A gentle reminder that this is a day 2 pitch. Pitches outside off and spins in viciously, goes through Ashwin and Wade to the fence. Too good

57.1 Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, flat and on the off, Jadeja stretches forward and defends it to cover for a quick single

55.2 Lyon to Ashwin, 1 run, pushed off the backfoot to cover, off the mark

55.1 Lyon to Ashwin, no run, Lyon fires in a quicker one but it's way down the leg side, Ashwin smiles and so does Lyon

54.6 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, appeal for caught behind. Australia are trying to put Aleem Dar under pressure, but he makes the right decision again. Back of length delivery nipping away off the seam outside off, Jadeja pokes and misses. Wade jumps, Pattinson appeals. Decision: not out.

Ravichandran Ashwin, right handed bat, comes to the crease

52.5 James Pattinson to Dhoni, out Caught by Shane Watson!! That's a soft dismissal, but a huge wicket! Banged in short on middle stump line, Dhoni looks to pull, but the ball comes on a bit slower and goes right off the toe end of the bat to mid wicket. Dhoni is disappointed, Watson roars in delight. Huge, huge wicket in this situation. Dhoni c Shane Watson b James Pattinson 24(23) [4s-2]

James Pattinson to Dhoni, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

52.4 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, length ball from round the wicket, Jadeja gets forward and looks to defend, a slight inside edge off the pad to short third man

52.3 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, back of a length and on the off, solid backfoot defence

52.2 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, good length and down the leg side, another good take by Wade moving across

52.1 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, good length delivery on the off, Jadeja gets forward and defends it solidly

51.6 Lyon to Dhoni, leg byes, FOUR, 4 useful leg byes, flat and down the leg side, brushes the pads and rolls past the keeper, the outfield is too quick

51.1 Lyon to Dhoni, no run, flat delivery on middle stump line, Dhoni stays back and defends it

Drinks are on the field now. Both the teams need it. Some seriously action packed cricket happening at the moment.

50.6 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, down the leg side and Wade dives to collect it

50.5 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, no run, a huge appeal for lbw but that was down the leg side, very full and down the leg side, Jadeja gets hit on the boots but that was missing leg. A very very loud appeal from Pattinson and Warner from mid wicket, but the right decision has been made

50.4 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR, and a lovely shot from Ravindra Jadeja! This is some fun! Full delivery and Ravindra Jadeja leans forward to drive it down to long on, Kohli stands up and applauds from the dressing room. Actually, that was much more than applause. He is animated too!

50.3 James Pattinson to Dhoni, 5 runs, overthrows! This is an action packed over! This was pulled to fine leg, Dhoni was jogging across and Siddle throws it to the non striker's end, Dhoni was unaware and the fielder backing up - Johnson - didn't expect it as well. Dhoni was actually out of his crease when the ball passed the stumps!

Some drama here. Aleem Dar and Pattinson are not happy. Dhoni was running on the wicket and Dar points that out. But Dhoni justifies it saying James Pattinson was in the middle of the way. It's getting uglier now. Warner gets into the act and has a few words to say to Jadeja. Jadeja points his fingers animatedly. The umpires have a word with Watson and ask Australia to cool down. Amidst all this, Dhoni is smiling...

50.2 James Pattinson to Dhoni, leg byes, 2 runs, what happened there? Full and down the leg side, Dhoni looks to flick but the ball gets entangled in his pads and rolls past the leg stump, Wade was going the other way but the ball went towards third man. They sneak a couple of leg byes

50.1 James Pattinson to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, a bouncer to start the over, Jadeja pulls it to deep square leg for a single

Just wondering how enjoyable the series would have been, if Australia had actually played like this earlier

49.6 Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, 1 run, short again but it bounces a lot, Jadeja pulls it awkwardly to backward square leg for one

49.5 Lyon to Ravindra Jadeja, 2 runs, brilliant running between the wickets. This was short and cut away to sweeper cover region, Johnson wasn't far away from that one but Dhoni had run back too quickly

49.4 Lyon to Dhoni, 1 run, loopy and on the legs, tucked to square leg for one

49.3 Lyon to Dhoni, no run, a bit slower through the air, Dhoni takes a step out and pushes it back to the bowler

Welcome back. If Australia continue the intensity they displayed in the last hour before Tea, this session will be very interesting.

This has been a wonderful session for Australia. Pujara went past his 2nd Test fifty but Nathan Lyon changed things around. He sent back Pujara and Kohli in quick succession. Tendulkar survived some anxious moments, including a close LBW call on 1. He then scratched around and run-making became a bit tough.

Welcome back for the second session. India will look to capitalize on this great start. Pujara and Vijay have looked in good touch.

It has been another good session for the home team. They came out with the intention of wiping out the tail quickly. That did not take long. The openers then raced away with Pujara leading the way. The Aussie pacers did get some assistance off the track but there was nothing consistent enough to trouble the batsmen. A boundary seemed always around the corner. The help off the track will keep this game interesting though. Scoring runs will not be easy. Join us at 12:10 PM to see how India fare.

13.6 Siddle to Vijay, no run, very loud appeal just before the break. Not out is the call and the right one too. It was nipping in from a good length and hit Vijay on the pad in front of leg. That was clearly going down the legside though. India go into lunch unscathed.

2.2 Mitchell Johnson to Pujara, leg byes, FOUR, very good short delivery from Mitchell Johnson now. Pujara has had some nervy moments already.

1.1 James Pattinson to Pujara, no run, James Pattinson starts with a ripper. This was very quick and nipping in a touch off the track. It was initially moving away in the air. Pujara is cut in half and beaten all ends up.

0.1 Mitchell Johnson to Vijay, no run, full and on the off, Vijay edges it softly to gully

Vijay and Pujara are at the crease. Vijay is on strike. Mitchell Johnson will open the attack

Two slips, a gully and a short leg in place. Glenn Maxwell has not come on. He is down with a stomach bug. That leaves Australia a spinner short.

Watson has a chat with Siddle and Johnson. Pujara to open for India.

That ends the innings. Australia's tail wagged well to get them past the 250 mark. The pitch is offering a lot for the spinners and the runs added by Siddle and Co could prove vital. The Indian opening combination in the absence of Dhawan is something to look forward to. Will it be the debutant Rahane or could Pujara be asked to open again? That's coming up shortly. Stay tuned.

98.1 Ashwin to Siddle, no run, flat and on the middle and leg from over the wicket, Siddle taps it watchfully to short leg

So spin to start off. Two short legs in place along with a slip.

There are some unconfirmed reports from the Australian camp that Glenn Maxwell is unwell and he might not take the field today. We will have to wait and watch for that.

A warm welcome to one and all for the second day between India and Australia from the Kotla in Delhi. Australia had to rely on the tail to bail them out from a poor position and they will look to get them past 250. India, on the other hand, will look to finish things off quickly and put Australia under immense pressure. The action is about to start in just 15 minutes.

The lower order has shown the top order how to bat in these conditions. Steven Smith and Peter Siddle strung a 53 run stand before Ashwin sent back Smith for a gritty 46 thanks to a sharp catch from Rahane. Since then, Siddle and James Pattinson have frustrated India by hanging in there. Siddle has now registered his highest Test score and in the process has taken Australia well past 200. The Aussies will be aiming to go past 250 tomorrow and make this contest more intriguing. Join us for all the action that takes place tomorrow. Bye Bye!

Welcome back for the final session. The Australian tail will have to bat out of their skins if they have to reach 200. The Indian bowlers will look to wrap it up quickly and consolidate their hold on this match.

The spinners, Ashwin and Jadeja, were the wreckers-in-chief as Australia crumbled yet again. Steven Smith has been defiant but could do nothing much without a stable partner at the other end. How much more can Australia manage from here? That's coming up at 2:30 PM. Do join us then.

53.6 Ashwin to Mitchell Johnson, out Bowled!! Superbly done by Ashwin. He's fooled Johnson completely here. It was the carrom ball from Ashwin after all the off-breaks. It pitched on off and Johnson was expecting the turn away, he lifts the bat over his head only to watch the ball skid through and hit the off stump.

46.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, out Caught by Ishant!! Ravindra Jadeja gets his 2nd wicket. Maxwell's attacking instincts got the better of him and it does not pay off.

40.4 Ashwin to Wade, out Caught by Vijay!! Wade can consider himself very unlucky here. There was no bat but Aleem Dar does not think so. Wade came down the track to defend but is hit on the pad before it lobs to silly point. The Indians looked confident and Dar did not waste time to raise his finger. He's not had a good series. Wade c Vijay b Ashwin 2(5)

Dhoni whips the bails off swiftly with his counterpart stranded way down the track. Ravindra Jadeja continues to have a very good series with the ball. That's his 18th wicket in this series.

There's been a claim for a catch. Pujara is the fielder in question. Ojha was certainly up quickly. Pujara seems unsure himself. the third umpire will take a call. It looks like it bounced just in front of Pujara. Not out it is.

28.1 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, no run, starts with a tossed up delivery on the off, Cowan pokes and gets an inside edge onto his pads

A good session of cricket that. Australia won't be too unhappy with that. They've scored 94 runs on a tough track although at the loss of two wickets. Now, they need to do the tougher part - string on partnerships and make this base count. For India, Ishant was the only wicket-taker. The spinners are gradually getting into the act though, so the second session of play could be a good contest. Join us at 12:10

26.2 Ashwin to Shane Watson, 1 run, worked to deep mid wicket for a single

Ah, interesting stuff about that appeal in the last over. Snicko shows a mark as the ball goes past the bat. Was that bat? Or maybe bat hitting boot? Can't say

26.1 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, 1 run, flighted delivery on the middle and leg, Cowan tucks it to square leg for a single

25.2 Ojha to Shane Watson, no run, flighted delivery on the off, Watson comes on the frontfoot and blocks

25.1 Ojha to Shane Watson, no run, and the benefit of doubt indeed. Good ball that - tossed up on the off and spins across Watson's defence, Dhoni whips the bails in a flash and appealed spontaneously, Watson had dragged his back leg slightly but dragged it back quickly.

A huge appeal for stumping! Dhoni is already celebrating but Aleem Dar, the square leg umpire, takes his time to go up. That's because there's an appeal for a catch as well. No edge on that, so it's up to the stumping appeal. Looks close. Very quick work from Dhoni and this is extremely close. The benefit of doubt could come into play. On the line? Or a small part of his foot behind the crease? Extremely hard to say. S Ravi, the third umpire, says NOT OUT.

24.6 Ashwin to Ed Cowan, no run, an appeal for a catch but that went off the pads. Flat and skiddy just outside off, Cowan looks to cut but he's too late, the ball goes off his pads to slip. A superb over from Ashwin that

23.5 Ojha to Shane Watson, no run, no shot offered and a huge appeal for lbw! Flat delivery angled in from round the wicket, Watson lets it go and the ball hits the pad just outside off, don't think it was going on to hit the off stump, pretty close but not close enough to be given

23.4 Ojha to Ed Cowan, 1 run, loopy and on the middle and leg, Cowan takes a step out and works it to the on side, the ball hits the short leg fielder and ricochets to short fine leg

23.2 Ojha to Ed Cowan, no run, flighted delivery on the off, Cowan goes on the backfoot and blocks

20.6 Ishant to Hughes, out Bowled!! I was wondering why Dhoni brought Ishant into the attack after just 1 over from Ojha, and here is the answer. From round the wicket and pitches on good length around off, no footwork from Hughes as he defends with an angled blade, the ball takes the inside edge and rolls back to hit the leg stump. Ishant's second wicket. Hughes b Ishant 45(59) [4s-10]

Ishant to Hughes, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

20.5 Ishant to Hughes, no run, back of a length and outside off, Hughes lets it go

20.4 Ishant to Hughes, no run, good length and on the off, Hughes gets forward and defends it this time, no misbehaviour from the pitch this time

20.3 Ishant to Hughes, no run, oh my! What happened there? That's nasty, from the pitch, not Ishant! Pitches on good length and kicked off rapidly, Hughes was looking to defend but the ball bounces and hits his helmet! Ouch! What's the pitch doing? It's day 1

Goes round the wicket

17.4 Bhuvneshwar to Hughes, FOUR, another drive, another boundary. Full ball outside off, Hughes comes on the frontfoot and drives it away between extra cover and mid off, that's his 8th boundary and the 50 run partnership with Ed Cowan as well

17.3 Bhuvneshwar to Ed Cowan, leg byes, 1 run, good length and down the leg side, goes off the pad to square leg region

3.3 Ishant to Ed Cowan, no run, a huge appeal for lbw and then a caught behind, but not given. Back of length ball nipping in from middle stump channel, Cowan is beaten by the inward movement and the ball goes off the thigh pad to the keeper. Too high to be given lbw

Here's Tom Moody, on twitter: Can't believe the look of the wicket in Delhi, this could be over in a hurry! #spinningtop

9:27 AM The Indians are in a huddle as the umpires place the bails on the stumps. Not many people in the stands, yet. No changes in Australia's opening combination.

What a turnaround for Shane Watson. Suspended for not doing his homework, returns to Australia, becomes a father, returns to India and becomes Australia's Test captain. All in a week! Let's see if he can turn things around for Australia as well.

Dhoni: I've lost the toss consecutively quite a few times. Coming into the IPL last year, I lost 28 tosses out of 32 matches so I remember the count. The reverse swing will be a factor in this track. This is the end of the season, after this we play for our franchises so it's good to finish the season well. Rahane replaces Dhawan and that's the only change in the side. We have been doing well as a team so I didn't want to make any other changes.

Watson: "The wicket will be good for day 1 and day 2, hope to make good use of it. It has been an amazing week to be honest, it's good to be back and lead my country. Wade returns for Haddin. Maxwell replaces Henriques. Johnson replaces Starc and Pattinson replaces Doherty."

Australia have won the toss and elected to bat

Rahane: "After a long wait, I've got this opportunity. I just want to enjoy this moment. There are no complaints that I have had to wait for my Test debut. I have played domestic cricket for five years and I am hapy with my form. I have had to motivate myself and I tried to keep a fresh mindset everytime. The mood is good in the camp and we will be hoping to win 4-0."

Ajinkya Rahane received his Indian Test cap from Harbhajan Singh. He becomes the third Indian to make his Test debut this series, after Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shikhar Dhawan.

Pitch report: "Very rough, patchy, has some cracks and looks abbrasive. It's not hard at the base. It doesn't look good for the batsmen. There is going to be a lot of wear and tear. The ball is going to turn for sure. It's going to test the batsmen's technique and patience. "

Another breaking news: Ajinkya Rahane is all set to make his debut. Finally...

Who will play for India - Rahane or Raina? Will Pujara open? Now that the series has been won, will India play the likes of Dinda? What will Australia do to their eleven? Will Wade return? Will Johnson, Khawaja get a game? And as I type all this, my colleague asks: will any of this affect the final scoreline?

Breaking News: The news coming out of the Australian camp is that Michael Clarke will NOT play this match. Shane Watson will captain Australia.

A warm welcome to one and all for the fourth and final Test between India and Australia from Delhi. India will be aiming for their first ever whitewash over Australia in Tests (Minimum 3 Tests) and will be going all out to achieve this. Australia on the other hand will play for pride. Can they return home with a win?

Preview by Rajarshi Gupta

Australia will go into the fourth Test against India at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi under strange circumstances. Shane Watson, who was axed from the side after failing to produce a presentation on team improvement could find himself appointed captain if Michael Clarke does not recover on time from a troubled back.

Clarke, who did not train on Wednesday, said he would do everything he could to be fit in time for the final Test but chances of his appearing in the concluding Test match seem very unreal. That could leave Watson to work with coach Mickey Arthur, as the Australians seek to avoid a whitewash.

Australia would no doubt be dealt a huge blow if Australia were to take the field without Clarke, who has been their batsmen in the series. The visitors' problems do not end there. Mitchell Starc, who defied India with scores of 99 and 34 in the third Test has already been ruled out but with the availability of the four sacked players, the team management would breathe a sigh of relief. With Watson certain to return to the playing XI, either James Pattinson or Mitchell Johnson is sure to get a slot in Delhi.

Since Pattinson got an extended bowling session at the Kotla, it seems more likely that he would pip Johnsnon to the post for Delhi.

Amongst Australia's many problems, their middle-order has been the biggest concern. The inexperience of the young batting line-up has failed to put up any fight against the Indian spin assault. David Warner and Ed Cowan did show some form in the first innings in Mohali, but the conviction with which Ckarke batted in the first two matches, has alluded any of the other top-order batsmen. While Watson's return will add more meat to the batting, his form for all practical reasons was abysmal before he was given the sack for Mohali.

Steve Smith's 92 in the first innings was a revelation and Australia would want him to hold his own in Delhi, where the pitch is expected to assist the spinners again, not unlike the previous three venues. They would need a solid effort all-around in an attempt to stop the rampaging hosts from driving home 4-0. Not only the batsmen but the spinners need to pull up their socks too. Nathan Lyon has had a disastrous tour while Xavier Doherty has done little of note either. Barring the pacers, Pattinson was outstanding in the first Test and Peter Siddle, who picked up five wickets in Mohali, the Aussue bowling has lacked the sting it needed. Against a batting side in top form, someone from the visitors' ranks needs to stand out with the ball.

The hosts, meanwhile have a slight headache of their own. Shikhar Dhawan, who scored a sensational 187 on debut has been ruled out of the final Test with a finger injury. Suresh Raina has been called in as replacement but it is unlikely that would stop Ajinkya Rahane from making a Test debut. Though he has been essentially annointed a middle-order batsman, Rahane has opened for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy and has also batted at the top in the few ODIs he played for India. It would therefore be a surprise if the Mumbai batsman, who averages 62.04 in domestic cricket does not get his maiden Test cap.

The rest of the batting order pick themselves up with Murali Vijay, leading the pack with two consecutive hundreds. Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni have been amogst the runs with the expection of Sachin Tendulkar, whose highest in the series, remains 81. The Little Master is due for a big one and Delhi and with India not playing Test cricket at home again in a long time, this could be the perfect setting.

The spinners have been India's greatest strength this series, with R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja amongst the top two wicket-takers. Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have struck at regular intervals and even though their wickets tally may not not look great, the Australian openers would still be wary of the Indian new ball attack. While Kumar has managed early swing with the new ball, Ishant has extracted good pace.

Clearly, it would be a battle of survival for the Australians in Delhi. While India would be looking to wrap things up and finish 4-0, the visitors would be happy to just avoid defeat and consequently their first ever series whitewash against India.
